EASTERN STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 


The Eastern State Normal School is an institution especially 
adapted to train young men and young women for the teaching pro- 
fession. It has a campus of twenty acres, eight buildings and a staff 
of forty-two teachers. The training school is one of the best equipped 
and housed laboratories in the state and furnishes abundant oppor- 
tunity to every student to get real teaching experience under the 
direction of the very best supervisors. The school is located at 
Madison. 


MADISON 


Madison, a city of 5,000 people, is situated on the St. Paul rail- 
road and on the Meridian international highway, running from 
Winnipeg to Mexico City, Mexico, in one of the richest agricultural 
districts in South Dakota. Two lakes are found just outside the city 
limits, and water sports such as swimming, boating and fishing abound. 


SPLENDID COURSES OFFERED 


A four year Teachers College Course leading to the degree of 
Bachelor of Science in Education. 

A two year Collegiate Course leading to a State Teaching Cer- 
tificate. 

A one year Collegiate Course leading to a First Grade Teaching 
Certificate. 


ABUNDANT OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES 


Opportunity is offered the especially talented students to par- 
ticipate in outside activities in which they are especially proficient, 
such as: Debate, Dramatics, Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Chorus, 
Orchestra, Foot Ball, Basket Ball, Base Ball, Track, Tennis, Hockey, etc. 


GRADUATES IN GREAT DEMAND 


Practically all of the 1923 graduates, who took the two year 
course and received an Advanced Diploma last June, were placed in 
grade positions in towns and cities in the southeastern part of the 
state at desirable salaries, the inexperienced receiving approximately 
$1100.00 a year. 


Of the 1923 graduates who spent one year here and received 
First Grade Certificates, approximately forty per cent were placed 
in town schools in this section of the state at annual salaries of 
about $1000.00 each. Of the remaining sixty per cent, a considerable 
number returned to school, the others accepting positions in the 
country.

WHAT NEXT 


You are about to finish high school and have received a fine 
general education. You are now ready to take your place in the 
world of affairs. In order to make a success you must have health, 
vigor and an education for a particular job. You have the health 
and vigor, but are you trained for some specific job? If you are 
not—why not consider the 


TEACHING PROFESSION 


You can prepare yourself to teach in a relatively short time and 
thus get quick returns on your money. A teaching position can be 
secured after one year of preparation, if necessary. 

You can get good wages. During the last few years the salaries 
of teachers have raised until now they compare favorably with those 
of any other profession. 

Positions are always available because schools are everywhere 
and must be run, 

Steady, worth while work. There are no off days because of a 
dull season or low prices. 

The opportunity for advancement is always present. Many 
teachers, by spending their vacations in study, are getting a better 
position each year. 





SUMMER QUARTER OPENS JUNE 9th 


The summer quarter, twelve weeks in length, is divided into two 
terms of six weeks each, beginning respectively June 9th and July 
21st. Attendance during the first term is the more satisfactory be- 
cause the student has the advantage of a wider selection of subjects, 
practically all subject offered during the regular session being avail- 
able at this time. In addition, special lecturers from various parts 
of the country appear at regular intervals. Ask for our summer 
school catalogue, which gives detailed information. 


FALL QUARTER OPENS SEPTEMBER 9th 


Although a student may enter at the beginning of any quarter, 
it is desirable, where possible, to begin work at the opening of the 
fall term. At this time are offered the beginning courses in all cur- 
ricula leading to the first grade certificate, advanced and vocational 
diplomas and degrees. Sections in each curriculum permit of special- 
ization in preparation for kindergarten, primary, intermediate, junior 
high school and rural teaching; also for administrative and supervis- 
Ory positions such as county, village and consolidated school super- 
intendencies and _ principalships. Expenses are very reasonable, it 
costing about $1.00 per day for board, room, books and tuition. 





SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 

















FORMS OF ATHLETICS 


The Eastern State Normal School boasts of a splendid gymnasium 
with one of the finest basketball floors in the state. Here during 
the winter and spring months are played interclass basket ball games 
by the girls and conference games by the boys. The district high 
school basket ball tournament is also held here. 


On the east sdie of the campus is located the athletic field 
which contains five tennis courts and a hockey field. The tennis 
courts are flooded during the winter months and make an excellent 
skating rink which is used extensively by both students and towns- 
people. The hockey field is used during class hours by the physical 
training classes and after school by the football squad. 


The girls, in addition to taking regular physical training work, 
participate in basket ball, volley ball, hockey, tennis and skating. 
The boys take part in foot ball, basket ball, base ball, track and 
tennis.

CHAUTAUQUA AND ENTERTAINMENT COURSE 

The City of Madison maintains a regular annual Chautauqua 
held during the latter part of June at the Chautauqua grounds on 
the shore of Lake Madison. This is open to the student body of the 
Normal School under special arrangement with the Chautauqua Asso- 
ciation. During the winter the Community Council assisting the 
Public School and the Normal School provides a regular entertain- 
ment course, to which the student body is admitted under the 
conditions of the student activity fund. 


SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE 


The social life of the school is promoted in various ways. Cer- 
tain annual days are observed by appropriate exercises and class and 
organization parties are held frequently. The Thursday afternoon 
social hour is an especially enjoyable feature in the social life of 
the school, 

The religious life of the student body is maintained at a high 
standard by close cooperation with the churches of the city. At the 
opening of each quarter, lists of students, with their church prefer- 
ences, are sent to the various pastors. Each church organization 
then undertakes to interest and hold its own group throughout the 
year. In this way the religious life of the student body is guarded. 

The Y. W. C. A. maintains a regular organization to which any 
girl in the school may belong if she wishes.

THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC 


The school of music is thoroughly organized and offers fully 
accredited instruction in voice, piano and violin. Courses in Music 
and Public School Music leading to diplomas are offered to students 
above high schoo] grade. These courses pre-Suppose a working knowl- 
edge of piano. 


A new feature is the group plan of instruction in violin and 
voice. This is being used very effectively in many places where a 
number of students desire training but do not feel able to pay the 
cost of private lessons. 


The Chorus has become a permanent organization. Each year 
hundreds of students avail themselves of the instruction offered free 
of charge during both the regular school year and the summer 
quarter. The Orchestra is a new apy Ar THE is free to all 
students who can qualify. rue TIBRAR)
